Chef Peak’s Jerk Chicken

Chef Benton Peak's Jerk Chicken

To prepare dinner for Caribbean Night at Sharples, Chef Benton Peak marinates more than 350 pounds of chicken and 50 pounds of tofu. Each piece of chicken and tofu is seared on the charbroiler and garnished with dipping sauce. “It’s the best tofu you’ll ever eat,” says Janet Kassab, the menu planner. The Sharples team also steams 60 pounds of rice and 80 pounds of green beans. During the meal service, 250 pounds of yucca and 300 pounds of plantains are fried.

Dear Chef Benton,
This recipe is so delicious, but confusing. What is the dipping sauce and what makes the chicken look red? My chicken looked white after cooking. The tofu did look dark brown. Could you please explain?
Thank you,
